From the Joel Finn Collection held by the Revs Institute – Naples, Florida The Susa – Moncenisio Hill Climb of 30 July 1950 From the racing archive of Guy Warburton, whose works Allard used a larger engine than the year before. Photos may tell us that it was a different car? The Rules pamphlet shows the winner from 24 July 1949 This is Piero Taruffi in the Cisitalia F2 (1200cc) car prepared by Abarth & Co. And the program has the entry list This is important to the historical description of Siata SC006 as the published results I’d seen previously reported “Malvetti” instead of Paesetti. Oops! I have no photographic archive for the Susa – Moncenisio of 1950 The results show a few cars and/or drivers that do not appear in the entry list, so there is a lot to study here as well! Hopefully, there is a photo archive somewhere. In the meantime, here are some hastily edited study notes: 30 luglio 1950 XVI Susa – Moncenisio 22.100 km (timed to 1/5th second) see AI 1-15.8.50 p59 (entry list from local paper) #2 A.L.F. 750 114349 Sandro Fiorio (6th/ Sport 750) 27’ 44.6” #4 Fiat-Giannini 750 Riccardo Foglio (8th/ Sport 750) 18’ 46” #6 ND 750 (not “Boby”) mot. 103 ?

The Revs Institute (Joel Finn Collection) has the rules booklet for the Susa – Moncenisio of 1951 but no entry list or results. I suspect that Warburton received the invite but did not go? In any case, the rules & regulations booklet has photos of the 1950 winner (#104 Bracco in a Ferrari) on the cover. Inside, there are photos of the #76 Jaguar XK120 of Wild and the #106 Talbot Lago GP car of Grignard. .
